Good evening all. Please say a special prayer for Commissioner Phyllis Lawson Hagmann as she recovers from open heart and colon surgery. We all know that she is a tough Rialto resident and will fight hard for a full recovery.

Productive meeting last night. Commissioners voted on properties keeping their historical integrity between 200 & 300 N. Riverside Ave. Lynn Merrill compared properties today with what they looked like in the official survey completed in 1990.

The meeting was productive. Lynn Merrill, the contractor who oversaw the report completed and given to the City in 1990, spoke and told us how Rialto City has asked him to do another report of the same properties. The Commission will compare pictures from the two reports and vote if the properties have enough historic integrity left to be a possible site for the State of California Historic Registry. Next month Mr. Merrill will give a presentation on 5 properties of the 114 from the 1990 report. All Commission Meetings are open to the public if any one wants to attend. We meet in City Council Chambers the 4th Monday of the month.
